Stacy has been on the road a lot of late; first off to Cali to see her twenty-something son before going home to San Antonio for a quick trip. The visit with Charlie involved multiple trips to IKEA and a lot of resisting the urge to clean and organize. Two highlights were Stacy celebrating her 34th wedding anniversary with Pete and putting a foot in the ocean. Meanwhile Eric continues to have fun filling the gap in his mouth and is looking forward to pulling a Cindy Brady for his upcoming Battersea show at The Valley (June 20th) in Tacoma. Stacy's CBS (cultural blind spot) was watching Sunset Boulevard which made her favorite skit from The Carol Burnett Show, make SO MUCH more sense. It's a classic for a reason and the topic of our relationship between ego and mental health is still relevant today. Eric explored two sides of a coin, first watching Master and Commander of the Far Side of the World with Russell Crowe, followed by Kneecap, a movie about the Irish hip hop trio – yes, you read that correctly. He was a fan of both movies although hip hop as a genre still alludes him. What does the Good Housekeeping say about when to floss? What does Stacy's hubby do? Will they stay married as a result? How does Eric feel about night guards and addressing the reason behind his teeth grinding? Take a listen and learn!

DJ Fat Tony has spent over four decades at the centre of British nightlife. He has DJed for Madonna, Prince and Elton John. He has played Glastonbury, Ibiza, and everywhere in between. He is one of the most recognisable figures in the global party scene. And for nearly three decades, he was also dying.By the time he reached his breaking point, he had almost no teeth left, weighed barely seven stone, and believed it was over. In 2007, he went into rehab. Today he is 19 years clean and sober. But this episode is not about that story. It is about what came after.Tony does not arrive with a polished redemption arc. He arrives with the version most people never tell — the rock bottom that happened six years into sobriety, when the substances were gone but the behaviour was not. Sex addiction. Drama. Ego. Homelessness again. The slow, humiliating realisation that getting clean is only the beginning.We go back to the beginning too. A Battersea council estate. A family soaked in addiction. A child who learned by age three that being ill got him attention, and built an entire survival strategy around chaos and crisis long before he ever touched a drink or a drug. Tony traces the through-line from that child to the man who, years into recovery, was still running the same patterns — performing in meetings, manipulating sponsors, using recovery itself as the newest addiction.What unfolds is a masterclass in the difference between sobriety and recovery. Tony breaks down powerlessness and what it actually means once you are no longer using it as an excuse. He talks about the 12 steps with the authority of someone who has both lived them and failed them. He is forensic about amends — why early apologies in recovery are almost always self-serving, why his own father told him to come back when he actually knew what he was apologising for, and why the only amends that count are the ones you live rather than speak.He also talks about sponsorship with a level of honesty that is rare. Picking sponsors to manipulate. Sponsoring people he was attracted to. The moment he finally got a sponsor who would not let him perform his way through the steps — and how that person changed everything.Tony's new book, Recover Me, is the book he had to write after his memoir I Don't Take Requests told the world a version of the story he had not yet been fully honest about. He talks about recording the audiobook and hearing himself read things he had previously suppressed. The shame versus embarrassment distinction that freed him. The moment he realised the more honest he became, the more free he felt.This conversation ends not in darkness but in something quieter and more powerful than just being drug free. Tony talks about the pinch-me moments that only become visible when chaos is no longer the baseline. From looking at his dog asleep in the morning to DJing to twenty thousand people and knowing the real success is simply waking up and being glad to be alive.Oliver is an ambassador for Alcohol Change UK, support here - https://tinyurl.com/5dt5773eSponsor -www.gavinsisters.co.ukpromo code SCHOOLOFROCKBOTTOM for 10% off!Support the pod https://www.paypal.me/olivermason1paypalTopics -0:00 Trailer & Intro4:10 A rock bottom moment7:00 Sex addiction8:30 Attention was my first drug!11:00 Addicted do drama?!13:30 Was Tony born an addict?16:50 Breaking the stigma20:30 Helping others23:45 Are war stories important?26:45 Is Tony powerless?32:30 Changing meetings34:15 Anonymous?!35:50 Recovery and self validation37:45 Shop around for recovery40:50 Tony gets really honest43:50 Guilt vs shame45:45 Making amends51:15 Sponsorship54:15 The 90/10 rule55:45 Pinch moments & recovery58:10 Turn anxiety into drive!Follow Tony Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dj_fattony_Tony's new book -https://geni.us/Recover_Me”Follow Oliverhttps://linktr.ee/olivermasonLinksYouTube - https://tinyurl.com/276aa99dApple - https://tinyurl.com/y3n2chk3

This episode includes discussion of sensitive topics, including addiction, that some listeners may find distressing. Please take care while listening, and feel free to pause or step away if you need to.DJ Fat Tony has spent a lifetime turning chaos into charisma. Long before he became one of the most recognisable figures in British nightlife, he was a kid from Battersea learning, far too young, how to protect himself, how to perform, and how to survive. His childhood wasn't without love or colour - he speaks warmly about his glamorous, indulgent mother, his complex but protective father, and the freedom and style that shaped him - but it was also marked by abuse, secrecy and the sense that he had to grow up far too quickly.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with DJ Fat Tony to trace the path from those early years to the centre of London's club culture. Tony reflects on sneaking into nightlife as a teenager, finding his people on the King's Road, and building a reputation not through technical brilliance but through instinct, energy and an unerring ear for what moved people.He speaks candidly about trauma, addiction, identity and the masks he wore to stay in control, as well as the extraordinary highs of a life lived at full volume - from the golden age of clubbing to the friendships, fame and excess that came with it. Tony opens up about recovery, honesty and the hard work of building a life that no longer depends on performance or escape.It's a funny, moving and often startling conversation about survival, reinvention and what it means to finally feel at home in yourself.Find out more about Recover Me by DJ Fat Tony here Additional support:If you've been affected by anything you've heard in this episode, please take a moment to read the resources listed: We Are With You, Change Grow Live, Turning PointFull Disclosure is a Global ProductionListen or watch every Friday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/fulldisclosure Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Eric's tooth extraction revealed a sinus infection and now he's cosplaying as a prospector. To add insult to injury he pulled out his stiches out while practicing for Battersea's upcoming show on June 20th at The Valley in Tacoma, WA. Like the good boyfriend he is, Eric waited too late to get “The Girlfriend” a birthday cake so perhaps we'll have to celebrate when they come to Veranda Beach for the weekend. Stacy's week includes a continuation of her dress quest and finds out she's a yeasty girl (on her scalp) so as predicted by commercials from the 70's dandruff is now a thing. What's next quicksand? As for their Cultural Blindspots, Stacy goes back to the year The Gap opened (1969) and watched Midnight Cowboy. It wasn't what she was expecting; however, she agrees it's worthy of the AFI100 list. Eric finally watched Saturday Night Fever and found the disco music and dancing were the least offensive part for him, ultimately, he preferred Warriors. Hoping for a better outcome, he watched A Night at The Opera, the Marx Brothers classic. Sadly, he found it silly except for Harpo's stellar harp playing. This week's topic on the impact of reality TV was something Stacy and Eric could agree upon. While not judgement for consuming it, it does feel like there's now generations of reality ick.

This week on Bark Back, we cover everything from razor-sharp puppy teeth and adorable new arrivals to incredible dog memorials, wartime hero hounds, rescue success stories… and Seann admitting he nearly turned up for the Cinnamon Trust's Big Walk on the wrong day.

You did everything right, grades, career, independence. So why does it suddenly feel like there are so many trade-offs you didn't know about?In this episode, I unpack a question I haven't been able to stop thinking about: whether the very system that rewarded high-achieving women… also created a set of trade-offs no one ever clearly explained. I explain why I think so many women in their 30s are starting to feel the weight of that and advice for what you can do to change it.What I cover:My 1-day event to redesign your life in Battersea, London, Saturday June 20thCLICK HERE TO GET YOUR TICKET TO FEMALE LEADERSHIP LIVE

One year later, on Saturday 27th of October 1985, 86-year-old widow Henrietta Osbourne was also stabbed and attacked frenziedly in an attack which had similar hallmarks.

Stacy is still getting adjusted to life in San Antonio with days mostly punctuated by sun, heat, deliveries, and service calls with folks like the grumpy clock guy. She's also learning about life with hard water which Eric is surprisingly well-versed in. His update is less sunny as he found out he didn't read the fine print about his gum graft surgery; like that there's a part two!! It's enough to make you wonder about the ROI on dental procedures. But in good news, Battersea played another great show even if Eric did spill his drink. Stacy and Eric both checked off Cultural Blindspots; Stacy watched 9 to 5 while Eric watched, To Kill a Mockingbird. Eric also watched Band of Brothers and Pacific which was awesome but brutal. The weekly topic was fantastic failure which made for hilarious and heartfelt conversation that taught us not to be phased by failure (which we all fail to do).

The band is back together, except not really since Stacy is finally in her new home in San Antonio. While Eric has been prepping for his latest Battersea gig at The Central Salon and adjusting to Daylight Savings, Stacy has been unpacking, learning the two-step at Stable Hall, and trying out local bars. At Otto's Icehouse she ran into Spurs Jesus which was not a religious experience although Stacy and Eric had some thoughts on adding other biblical icons to make a sort of Peanuts-esque gang for SJ to hang with at games. As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy finally watched Weapons on a recent flight and was semi-surprised by how much she liked it. Meanwhile Eric continues to overachieve by watching not one, but two movies; Key Largo, a Bogart and Becall movie with a film noir vibe and Tucker, The Man, The Car. While sharing it's clear Stacy knows all the “hot goss” about dead Hollywood stars and nothing about cars. Eric shares his surprise that the Tucker movie was directed by famed Godfather director, Francis Ford Coppola since it seems more like what would be considered an “indie” these days. As for the week's top topic, annoying coworker behaviors, Eric has more actual experience in a classic office setting, but Stacy has more thoughts.

When an inconvenient corpse is discovered in a Battersea bathtub, a complex puzzle unfolds for the London authorities. What's with the pince-nez and birthday suit combo? And isn't that a surgical college just across the rooftops? In this episode we strike a match and settle in with Dorothy L Sayers' "Whose Body?" and review the first appearance of Lord Peter Wimsey, her amateur sleuth of impeccable tailoring and disarming flippancy. Layered with mistaken identity, social satire and post-war unease, this celebrated mystery from 1923 balances classic whodunnit mechanics with sharp observations about entitlement and trauma in a changing world.FastFacts@12:45; Summary@47:25; PIPES@1:18:00

Since the late nineteenth century, amusement parks have been providing countless hours of enjoyment for people all around the world. Often driven by the latest technology and advances in mechanical engineering, the thrill rides at parks like Disney Land, Great America, and other independent parks offer a controlled environment to experience terror and excitement. While these rides, and the parks in general, are very safe and held to strict safety standards, there are times when the unthinkable happens—a cable snaps, a safety harness breaks—and the once safe ride becomes a nightmare for passengers. Far more often than not, tragic amusement park accidents are the result of human foolishness or, far less often, operator error. But other times, they are a bizarre fluke; a one in a million mechanical problem no one saw coming. Either way, the results can be shocking, horrifying, and even deadly.Recommendations:Jawsh on tikTok ReferencesAdler, Eric, and Katy Bergen. 2016.

I'm breaking down the three most common pivots I see in high-achieving women (corporate, early entrepreneurship, and “why doesn't this feel like freedom yet?”)… and the fastest way I know to move through the void and collapse the timeline on your next chapter: getting in the room.You're in corporate and quietly thinking: “This can't be it… but what else would I do?”You want to launch a business, but you're frozen at the edge of the entrepreneurial cliffYour business is working… but your life still feels heavy, hectic, and overworkedYou know your next level is available, but you keep hitting invisible ceilingsYou're craving clarity, momentum, and a real-life activation (not more overthinking)In this episode, I cover:The 3 pivot moments most women in my world move through and how to know which one you're inThe real reasons you get stuck at each pivot (identity + nervous system limits more than “strategy”)How to collapse time why in-person rooms and events create decisions you can't access aloneThe 3 things that hold you back during a pivot (environment, not being a match yet, limiting beliefs) and how events solve themFemale Leadership Live London: the full day experience, the sessions (Life Audit, Redesign Your Life, Become Her Roadmap), panel, VIP upgrades, and why Battersea is part of the deeper storyFemale Leadership LIVE: CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR TICKETIconic Woman Mastermind - CLICK HEREIconic Woman Retreat - link coming soon DM me on Instagram in the meantimeFLL Affiliate link - CLICK HEREThe Reset Retreat Bali Sept 27th - Oct 3rd - CLICK HERE

In this episode of The Terry Stone Connection, we sit down with British boxing champion Denzel Bentley for a raw and honest conversation about life, choices, and the thin line between two very different futures.Denzel speaks openly about growing up surrounded by influences that could easily have led him down a path into crime, and how boxing became the thing that pulled him away from it. Without the sport, he's clear that his life could have looked very different.He reflects on friends he grew up with who didn't find that same outlet, some now serving prison sentences, others who never made it out at all. The conversation doesn't shy away from the reality of knife and gun violence, and the lasting impact it has had on the people and communities around him.We also talk about his journey in boxing, becoming a three-time British champion and winning the WBO world title, as well as what it's been like being promoted by renowned promoter Frank Warren and operating at the highest level of the sport.This is a no-nonsense discussion about discipline, survival, and how one decision can change the course of a life.Let us know what you think in the comments. Did boxing save Denzel from the wrong path, or was it always in him to rise above it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

FROM LONDON: Comenzamos la cuarta experiencia de la temporada 32 de La nueva Luz del Misterio. Una experiencia única de comunicación de La Luz del Misterio esta semana hablando del misterioso fantasma de Battersea, la aterradora "aparición" que llegó a discutirse en el Parlamento británico.

"What you're about to hear is the opening of my novel-in-progress, The Price of Two Pence. It begins in Battersea, January 1975, on the Number 77 bus, where Ronald Jones — a Jamaican bus conductor — asks two young men for a two-pence fare for their dog. What happens next alters his life, and the life of his sister Nancy, forever.The novel traces the aftermath of that moment across London and rural Jamaica, exploring the grief and rage of a family, the silences of a city that tried to forget this death, and the persistence of memory across generations. At its heart, it's about what it takes for a community to keep someone's story alive — and the fire we must walk through to bring it into the light."Blessings,Jason Allen-PaisantYou may follow Jason's journey and his award-winning work at www.jasonallenpaisant.com This episode of BCLF Cocoa Pod was made possible with the support of funds from the Brooklyn Arts Council Local Arts Support Grant.

Play NowEpisode 384 of the Twincast / Podcast is celebrating “Transformers Day” the best and only way, by talking about Transformers.

Step inside Renault's bold reinvention with this episode of the Autocar Meets podcast. Deputy editor Felix Page rides through London with Renault's Chief Marketing Officer, Arnaud Belloni, to uncover how the brand is reshaping its identity for a new era. From the launch of Renault's striking new concept stores – including a new Battersea site – to the revival of legends like the 4, 5, and Twingo, Belloni explains why Renault is leaning into storytelling, design, and emotion to connect with customers. He reveals how the brand is returning to city centres with smaller, lifestyle-focused showrooms, merging cars with cafés, lounges, and curated merchandise to build a brand 'touchpoint' that serves as far more than mere a sales channel. Belloni also reflects on Renault's evolution since the ‘80s when it was a 'nobody brand', the unique bond the brand has with UK buyers, and why authenticity drives respect in today's market. And in a fascinating discussion on merchandise, he shares why Renault is following the lead of global lifestyle brands, turning icons like the Renault 5 into not just cars, but experiences you can wear, play, and live with - including £4000 table football sets.

Ça y est, la saison 8 de Feu de Camp touche à sa fin et pour l'épisode final, nous allons retrouver la famille Hitchings et leur poltergeist de compagnie, Donald. Dans le dernier épisode, nous avons vu à quel point la vie de cette pauvre famille londonienne est devenue compliquée depuis qu'ils ont emménagé dans leur nouvelle maison. La pauvre Shirley, 15 ans, est devenue l'obsession d'un esprit agité qui aime bien la faire trébucher, léviter, et qui prend tous les objets de la maison pour des projectiles. Mais heureusement, un bienfaiteur est arrivé sur les lieux. Il se fait appeler Chib, il est chasseur de fantômes, et il est bien décidé à en découdre. Feu de Camp est un podcast original NRJ, écrit et incarné par Taous Merakchi. Une production disponible sur l'application et le site NRJ rubrique podcast, et sur toutes les plateformes d'écoute.

Une nouvelle maison, c'est censé être un nouveau départ, une toile vierge sur laquelle on peut appliquer sa propre vision, ses propres couleurs, reprendre du début. C'était en tout cas l'espoir que nourrit la famille Hitchings en s'installant dans la petite maison mitoyenne située dans le quartier de Battersea, dans le Sud-Ouest de Londres. Il y a les parents, Wally, conducteur de train et Kitty, dont l'arthrite chronique la force à se déplacer en fauteuil roulant, les enfants, Shirley et John, et la grand-mère, Ethel. Nous sommes en 1956, et le quotidien de ce petit clan est sur le point de basculer de la pire des façons à cause d'une entité au nom familier, et aux méthodes redoutables.

We hope this pod finds you well Bookshelvers This week Steve sails the Barks From Podship solo across the canine geek ocean! Luckily for him he has a wonderful book to get stuck in to!  This week we are thrilled to be joined by the awesome Niki French to talk (amongst other stuff) all about her book 'Stop Walking Your Dog'. There is so much to unpack about Niki and her journey to writing the book as well as all the other amazing “project pies” Niki has her fingers in. This was an insightful and relaxed interview that we feel you'll love! Amongst other amazing things, Niki shares her insights on the importance of short training sessions and how to make training enjoyable for both dogs and their owners, her favourite games that can enhance the training experience and bond. We delve into various aspects of dog training, focusing on understanding dog behaviour, the significance of boundary games, and the role of calmness in training. We discuss the ACE-free work approach and its benefits, and touch on the challenges of navigating controversies in the dog training industry and where Niki falls on the need for regulation and recognition of trainers' qualifications. Niki shares all about her dog Bodhi, a Battersea rescue, detailing the challenges and triumphs of training him. We talk about 'Don't Walk Your Dog Day' and the concept (and strange controversy) around it. Niki is also kind enough to reflect on her experiences as a writer and the impact of her book on dog training and behaviour discussions. We hope that this conversation will fire you all up, make you smile, make you think and ultimately help highlight the significance of nurturing a dog's well-being through various activities (not just walkies). Of course there's more… There always is! And this week Steve also pulls out some "stand out" parts of the book with our usual sections.  So what are you waiting for? Indulge your brain box and your chuckle sack simultaneously… WOOF!Niki Facts: Niki French is a dog-mad, people-loving, award-winning dog trainer, bestselling author, and podcaster. Niki French is the founder of Pup Talk and author of Amazon best seller STOP!

En 1956 una residencia en Battersea, Londres, fue el escenario de ruidos y movimientos inexplicables. La aterradora experiencia que padecía la familia Hitchings inquietó no sólo a los medios de comunicación, sino también al mismo Parlamento británico.Uno de los principales investigadores paranormales de la época estaba convencido de que el fenómeno era debido a un espíritu atrapado entre dos mundos y que se había obsesionado con la residente más joven de la casa, Shirley, quien vivió una adolescencia terrorífica.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks!Are you ready for a story that's sure to shiver your timbers? We hope so! Because Brittany is about to tell you all about the Battersea Poltergeist. In the 1950s, a family in Battersea, London began experiencing strange noises, flying objects, and unexplained fires. Yeah. That's right. More fires. This ghost (who the family named Donald) became BIG NEWS in the UK and was even discussed in Parliament.But was it real? Or the imaginings of a teenage girl? Considering this took away more than a decade of her life, we're tempted to believe her.

On 10th December, 1907, angry medical students and animal rights activists were clashing over a controversial bronze statue of a brown terrier who had been dissected at University College London in 1903, revealing violations of animal experimentation regulations. The ‘brown dog' case fuelled the anti-vivisection movement, kickstarting a fundraising appeal that culminated in the erection of a memorial in Battersea - chosen as the statue's location because of its association with the famous dog home - and, ultimately, some of the worst rioting ever seen in London… In this episode, The Retrospectors consider why this seemingly innocuous drinking fountain required round-the-clock police protection; explain why there was a link between feminism and animal rights campaigners; and reveal the considerably less controversial statue that still stands in Battersea Park...
